So Comedy Central's page has Chris Funk's solo but not Stephen's. Anyone got a link for the video. YouTube is failing me thus far.

Stephen didn't perform: Peter Frampton took his place.

so um, chris funk... really wasn't that awesome as far as his actual playing. i hate to say it but frampton's solo was WAY more shredful.

Bryan... I think you missed the point...plus I should hope Peter Frampton is a better guitar player than Chris Funk....I dont think will be seeing a "Funk Comes Alive" solo record anytime soon

i know i know, i was just hoping that funk would actually be a really awesome shredding guitarist. i was a little disappointed. maybe he just needs a talk box - they mess up your fillings though.

I have to hand it to Colbert on that one. Pulling out Peter Frampton, and on top off that he was rocking the cut off suit sleeves and washable tattoo.

Did anyone tape this Colbert tv show where Frampton was?
I`m a huge Peter´fan and I would love to have that tv show.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
